Route 156 is a state highway in New Jersey, United States. It is a short connector in Yardville-Groveville, New Jersey, which is part of Hamilton Township, Mercer County. It is an old two-lane alignment of U.S. Route 130 that was bypassed by a new multi-lane highway a short distance to the east in the 1950s. It connects to US 130 at both ends, and carries local traffic through the Yardville section of Hamilton Township.

[edit] History

Route 156 was originally U.S. Route 130 through Yardville, numbered just after the 1953 renumbering. It was formed so close to the 1953 renumbering that by the time it was given a number, it was already Route 156.^{[citation needed]}
